Update Framework : this looks highly promising, the Linux Foundation is teaming up with CNCF to deliver a secure way to maintain and update system even in the face of adversity. Knowing that there is an update to apply is already half the battle and this framework seems to go a long way to help you with this and tackle the next half efficiently.
Good Runbook : what is a good runbook, how to structure it and how to apply it. Runbooks are the basics of the standard operations procedure in case of failure. Often overlooked as an afterthought, the runbooks in your company should be carefully designed to be easily understandable and applicable. As more often than not, the person who wrote the runbook won't be the one executing it on the next failure.
50 Years of Computer Architecture : a nice historic recap of the evolution of the processor architecture and where we are going. The mainframe CPU history is just worth a read alone. [slides]
Resilience Engineering : really interesting collection of people and associated papers on the topic of resiliency and more specifically applied to the domain of engineering. A good amount of really important information to digest especially for the folks working in SRE.
MLFlow : Machine learning model registry, think docker hub but for ML .. Kind of like TensorFlow hub but you can [github]. But wait, that's not just it! ML flow is a platform that also offers ML project management and tracking. Worth a check.
kubernix : Single dependency, single node Kubernetes clusters for local testing, experimenting and development. This project uses NIX as it's underlying functional package manager.
mirrorgate : this looks like a better version of Hygiea from capital one. From a quick glance at the code, it seems easier to deploy and extend. I think I will give it a spin and see what we can achieve with it. I strongly feel that wallboard application are essential for effective SRE/Devops and provide direct feedback to the teams while contextualizing it with business process output. What's probably missing from this version is the "executive" wallboard that Hygiea offers.
jtc : select one or multiple elements from a source JSON and apply various actions on the selected elements at once. Another tool for your swiss army knife bash script.
ja3 : something I discovered recently. Apparently, you can fingerprint SSL and TLS session in order to identify the service being run behind the encrypted socket. Really awesome if you want to spot malware or bitcoin miner on your network. Or pretty much any other services as long as you have a fingerprint to compare with.
SchemaCrawler : a cool tool for database schema discovery. This is a must when you have to take on board a legacy DB system that lacks clear documentation.
Incident response : pager duty open sourced they incident response process. This is a really great set of tools, process and best practice for incident response. What is even more eye-opening is the part the describe the incident resolution scenario that didn't work and point out some great anti-patterns. A must read for any SRE team out there and anybody else that has an on-call duty and their managers.

Serverless cost calculator : Pretty much every feature / price ware in the cloud start with cost calculator springing up left and center. It is starting early for serverless solution.
